Handpicking the muscat grapes

The sweet muscat wine that Beaumes-de-Venise is renown for comes from hand-picked grapes.
The grape harvest started on September 5th and still isn't over. Bunch after bunch, the trailers are filled and taken down to the wineries or wine co-op in a constant to and fro of tractors.

This post is linked to Skywatch Friday, a community of bloggers who look up to the sky every Friday. This week's series is called Harvest Moon Edition - how appropriate. Check it out to see other skies around the world.

Yes William, it's fantastic. In fact I've been living in the area for several years and it's the first time I'm actually getting out there to take pictures, and I'm discovering a whole new world in the process.

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
